<p>Hi everyone,
Im a high school junior, and i have around 10,000 dollars. I would like to invest this money until i finish college.</p>
<p>I obviously don't want to keep the money in the bank at 4%.</p>
<p>Currently, about 2,000 is invested in Johnson & Johnson stock, the rest of it is temporally located in my checking account.</p>
<p>I would like to invest this money, but I'm not sure where or how. </p>
<p>From the advice I've been given by family members, the consensus is that i should put it in a mutual fund.</p>
<p>Since this money is not ultra important to my existence, and since i wont need it for a while, i feel that it should be placed in a "riskier" fund (if for somereason it were to be lost, my life wouldnt end- its not like this is retirement money or anything).</p>
<p>My uncle recommended the dodge and cox international stock fund, as well as the vanguard international stock funds. My grandmother wants franklin templeton (though I'm not sure which division of it).</p>
<p>Basically, I'm not sure how i should go about this.</p>
<p>Should i invest in only 1 fund? Or 2?</p>
<p>Is there any advice you have to offer?</p>
<p>Is there a site I should check out for advice or a guide or anything like that?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
